"Mother of All Energy Shocks" Boosts Global EV Sales Even Higher
Battery electric vehicle sales are growing due to high gas prices and consumers' fear of continued market volatility (otherwise known as "energy insecurity").

I like your suggestions. Let me add a few more:
- Build and own the interties needed to connect provincial power grids so that Canada can create a national grid or at least 2-3 regional grids.
- Create a federal crown corporation to manage the trading of electricity between those grids.
No new pipelines. No new LNG.
That's my message this Friday in Calgary.

Canada's Sovereignty Problem: MAGA Disinformation Targets Alberta Separatism
This interview is a clear warning about what could happen under the right—or wrong—circumstances.

Excellent read.
"But nothing will change until Canadian think differently about the economy and demand that their political leaders do so as well. September’s investment summit might be an ideal platform from which to launch that new conversation."
The playbook isn't even a secret anymore, it’s being run in broad daylight. We’re seeing new levels of authoritarianism every single day, and this gerrymandering is top-tier corruption. Absolute power-grab. 🚩 #ableg #abpoli
Carney Should Channel His Inner Lougheed
In a “ruptured” global order, Canada remains tied to a passive economic model: de-risking private capital rather than directing the national economy.
Private capital = oil companies, banks, LNG, mining, etc.

I'm guessing this will explode on her.
Canadians aren't as stupid as Americans are.
This won't work.

Strait of Hormuz Re-Opens, But Still Many Uncertainties
What a mess.
Revolutionary Guard says ships need an Iranian escort. Is that "open"?
Still mines, drones, proxies to worry about. Is that "open"?
